New Planned Parenthood president says she’s defending the ‘most vulnerable individuals’

Planned Parenthood has a new, president, Leana Wen.

Wen worked as an emergency physician, taught at Harvard Medical School, and served as Baltimore City health commissioner. She has a compelling story, having grown up in China before her family immigrated to the United States.

She seems rather tone deaf, though, in her assertion that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortionist and the provider of more than one-third of all U.S. abortions annually, looks out for the least of these.

“I wanted to fight for our most vulnerable individuals on a bigger scale,” Wen said in a quick introductory video announcing her promotion — apparently unaware of the dark irony of her own words.

When Wen speaks of vulnerable individuals, she means men and woman who can presumably walk and talk and live without their life being snuffed out without warning — little children at risk of being ripped and vacuumed from the safety and security of the womb.

This distinction doesn’t make it into the slick video above. But plenty of healthy and happy babies and toddlers do — survivors of the Roe era. The images make it seem as if Planned Parenthood was in the business of giving life instead of taking it. But the lens flares and the dramatic music and the eloquent cadence of Wen’s words can’t hide that her organization ends the lives of more than 320,000 unborn children annually.
